Does the MAG™ Docking Station need to be constructed of a thicker gauge because of the lightweight nature of magnesium?
No – just the opposite. Because of magnesium alloy’s high strength-to-weight ratio, thinner gauges can be used without the alloy losing its ruggedness. The MAG™ Docking Station’s thin gauge magnesium alloy construction serves the same purpose without the need for layering required by other metals. This contributes to sleek design simplification. Because thin gauge magnesium alloy remains resistant to denting and bending, it is much easier to work with when designing a docking station. The design needn’t be fortified in order to make it rugged. The result is a lightweight docking station with greater ruggedness for longer life, greater stiffness, better denting resistance, and a smoother surface for improved appearance and function. The MAG™ Docking Station’s high performance is matched by its attractive appearance.
